Triangle Congruence Flashcard

Front

What are Vertical Angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

Which triangle congruence test is NOT valid?

Back

SSA is NOT a valid test for proving triangles congruent.

Front

What does SSS stand for?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What does AAS stand for?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.

Front

What is the Angle Bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are identical in shape and size, while similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size.

Front

What is the definition of congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence in geometry means that two figures have the same shape and size.

Front

What is the ASA criterion?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence.
